Did you see a significant accuracy increase over using tesseract?

Personally I have seen a very significant increase in accuracy. In particular with "real life" scenes, tesseract has a hard time.
The accuracy is about the same. We process store circular images which are actually pretty easy to OCR. It helps that we have large images to start with and are converted to grayscale and then edge sharpened in imagemagick before being sent to the OCR process.
